Each hook is a Maboroshi barb hook (ring type), tied individually to its own short assist line and joined by a press ring, with both cords meeting at a single split ring. Because the two hooks are separate rather than sharing one cord, they swing wide and move independently around the ring. That widens the area a fish can be caught in as the plug comes past, and it distributes load between the two cords once a fish is on. Yamai's own account is that the system has been tested and fished worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe points are sharp and processed to stay that way, and the intended mount is on a plug in place of a treble — a swap casting anglers make for hold, for fish care, and because a double does not foul the leader the way a treble does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne rigging warning from the maker, and it matters: fit the MAW-1 so the rear hook cannot reach the front hook. A plug with hooks that can meet will lock up on a cast and fish badly, or worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin plugging assembly built from Maboroshi barb hooks (ring type)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach hook tied individually to its own short assist line with a press ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth cords meet at one split ring, so the hooks swing wide and move independently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad is distributed between the two cords during a fight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, well-processed points intended to penetrate on contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit ring can be changed to suit the target species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes #1\/0, #2\/0 and #3\/0; two sets per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplace a treble on a plug\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fit the MAW-1 to the belly or tail hanger of a stickbait, popper or minnow using a split ring rated above your drag.
